Senior🎓
Top SchoolEsben Sonne is a Senior Software Engineer in Copenhagen with 12 years of experience building reliable backend systems and productionized ML services using Python, Go, microservices, Docker, Kubernetes and cloud platforms. He has driven major product rewrites—most notably transforming a slow map/reduce social listening system into a realtime, feature-rich analytics platform at Falcon.io—and has shipped gRPC/REST model-serving and training pipelines at Visma. Pragmatic about tools, he favors Python but actively explores better languages and has contributed test and cross-platform QA improvements to the widely used ASGI server uvicorn. At ONLINECITY.IO he continues to blend pragmatic engineering with strong CI/CD, observability and automated testing practices. Known for TDD, mentoring peers and a taste for solving tricky cross-environment issues (including Windows-specific test fixes), he brings both depth and curiosity to production engineering challenges.
